Technical Abstract

Provided are an F-P sensor probe, an absolute distance measurement device, and an absolute distance measurement method, which relate to the field of non-contact absolute distance measurement technologies. This structure includes a first N+1-core multimode optical fiber probe (9), an optical fiber sleeve (10), an imaging lens group (11), and a reference lens (12), wherein: the first N+1-core multimode optical fiber probe (9), the imaging lens group (11), and the reference lens (12) are sequentially fixed inside the optical fiber sleeve (10) along a direction of the F-P sensor probe toward a sample (8); and the first N+1-core multimode optical fiber probe (9) includes N first multimode optical fibers (16) and one second multimode optical fiber (17), where N≥2, and the N first multimode optical fibers (16) are arranged around the second multimode optical fiber (17).
